Actually this feature does exist, to an extent anyway, in Gedit (2, in my case). Under preferences there is a check box in the view tab on the bottom called "Bracket Matching".

With that checked you can highlight the opposite bracket delimiter by putting your cursor over its twin. It goes both ways.

However, seeing that I use ruby, which utilizes "do/end" tags instead of curly brackets, I'm still looking for a hack for that. I'll try to remember to come back and share any more information that I find.
